Have you ever considered a mid-life correction? Have you ever thought about a job change? I have, and I thought that the IT field would be the ticket. I finished my IT based degree and found that nobody will hire you with less than 2 years experience or a masters degree unless you willing to start out at $30K a year. I just couldn't take that kind pay cut, especially with the new student loan expense that i have to pay. So I'm thinking what do I want to do with my life. I don't want to be 55 and still wondering how I got roped into another 20 years in the loss prevention field.
So I've been having thoughts about what I would do if I opened my own business. I wouldn't mind opening a gym of my own, and getting my certification as a personal trainer. Rob was kind enough to send me a link where I could obtain my certification for just under $700. But I also though maybe if I went and got more education as a nutritionist, I could increase my demand as a personal trainer. Additionally this would give me a revenue stream outside the gym (working for a hospital or nursing home). Another avenue would be to pick a specialty in the IT field and get my Masters degree. Ahhh so many choices so little time. All I know is that I am very tired of loss prevention and retail. I love the flexibility of working what ever schedule I want. I also love being able to be in charge of multi-site buildings so I can get out now and then. I just am tired of hunting for people at their worst. I would rather look for a profession where I can help people acheive their best.
Well, until I decide I guess I'll have to stick with the money maker and determine what it is I want to do next. Did I mention I'm open to suggestions... =)
